Manufacturing Excellence in a Changing World
Live Webinar 1 PM ET / 10 AM PT, March 2 - Free Ebook Download With Registration Register Now Today most companies claim to care about workplace safety, but some feel that sentiment is not always present in corporations' day-to-day operations. After a chain of high-profile accidents that have had both human and environmental costs, some large corporations have been accused of putting profits ahead of workers' safety. But the resulting accidents have instead cost those companies dearly. Shouldn't a safe, responsible operation also be a productive one? Posturing aside, what exactly is the relationship between safety and business sustainability?
To answer this question, the Sustainable Business Forum brings together an expert panel to explore the strategic connection between safety and sustainability, and suggest best practices. We invite you to read these contributions from leadership expert Ted Coine, Bruce Piasecki and Mark Coleman of the AHC Group, National Safety Council research director Mei-Li Lin, and Patricia Walters of Dupont's Crisis Management team in this new ebook report, then join us on March 2 for a live webcast to delve deeper into safety's strategic importance and get your own questions answered.
The thread running through each of these arguments is that, while building safety culture requires an initial investment, smart corporations view workplace safety as an essential driver of economic success. Download this ebook and join us for the webcast for fresh perspectives on: - How to mitigate potentially brand-killing safety crises
- "Competing for sustainability" by broadening traditional definitions of risk
- Building a safety culture through strong analytics and a commitment to continuous improvement
